Not all that wear the cause of christian wear it well. Love should be the mark and sign of any true christian. But that’s not always the case. There are those that wear the name but practice hate, anger, greed, and everything Jesus Christ stood against. There are those that wear the name and practice their own definition of love but their love lacks any Godly element. Continue reading →

As I mentioned before, there were two vocabulary words stressed this conference. They actually go hand in hand. One is ministering and the other word is unity or a variation of it. In other words, unity is being stressed at a time when division and rifts are occurring in nations, communities, and even homes. We are falling apart and our division will destroy nations, communities, and even homes. Continue reading →

I believe learning the language of the Spirit is the most crucial skill a person can acquire in this day and age. It is also something I lack the ability to do. That is why I appreciate step by step instructions on how to accomplish this task more so than pretty metaphors and imagery that sometimes loses practical implementation. Continue reading →

Due to space and time, the entire Saturday evening session is combined in one post.

I don’t watch the Saturday evening of conference because after 4 hours from the morning and afternoon, my focus is shot (I’m not sure what I’ll do in October when I should watch that evening session) but I do read every talk in the Ensign. But this session I didn’t need to watch it per se because I heard all about it. At least, the changes announced during it. Continue reading →

I don’t connect with every talk and this is one that I had a difficult time finding personal application with. Since I don’t have a family of my own to teach this seemed like N/A counsel. Don’t get me wrong, it is good counsel for those it applies to but for those of us who can’t practice its message at this time it wasn’t the easiest to focus on. Continue reading →

There is always that question of why. Why am I doing this? At least for me that question needs to be answered on a fairly regular basis. A couple of months ago when spring finally started making its way with warm weather I asked that very same question as I headed into church. Why am I going to church today? It is so nice out! Elder Wakolo answers that question. Here’s the why. Continue reading →

My first thought when the Young Women General Presidency was released was, “is it already that time again?” I was a newly called ward Young Women president when Sister Dalton took the helm. That was two presidencies ago now. Time is flying. But this isn’t about me, is it? Continue reading →

A popular theme today: live life like it’s your last or even the overused YOLO. But this flips it from inward hedonistic seekers to outward altruistic souls. Leaving the day better than you found it. Continue reading →

The word meek has been given a bad rap. It now implies all those things this day and age is against. Things like quietness, timidity, shyness. But it actually isn’t that at all. And it is not a bad quality to acquire along the way either. Continue reading →

I am a Mormon

This blog is not affiliated with the LDS church. ck's days contains a tesimony of someone who strives to be a disciple of Christ. The teachings I believe in and strive to make a part of my days will naturally spill over into my blog. However, I am far from perfect and my actions and thoughts may not reflect what I have been taught or I'm learning. Any blog of this nature no matter how well meaning is only a personal opinion of certain facts. If anyone is curious or has questions about certain facets of the church I recommend going directly to the source at lds.org.
